In web development, the style.left property refers to the left offset position of an element within its containing element. The value of style.left is a string that represents the distance from the element's left edge to the left edge of its containing element. This distance can be specified using various units, such as pixels, percentages, or other length units.

When you retrieve style.left in JavaScript, you get a string representation of this distance. For example:

var element = document.getElementById('exampleElement');
var leftValue = element.style.left; // Returns a string like "10px" or "50%"

To perform numerical calculations or comparisons with the left offset, you might want to parse this string and extract the numeric value. Parsing involves removing the unit (e.g., "px" or "%") and converting the remaining part to a numeric value.

Here's an example of how you can parse the style.left value in JavaScript:

var element = document.getElementById('exampleElement');
var leftValue = element.style.left;

// Parse the numeric value
var parsedLeft = parseFloat(leftValue);

// Now parsedLeft is a numeric value representing the left offset
console.log(parsedLeft);

By parsing the value, you can use it in mathematical operations or make comparisons. Keep in mind that parsing might return NaN (Not a Number) if the value is not a valid number, so it's important to handle such cases appropriately.

The error "Unable to locate element" in Selenium usually occurs when the web element you are trying to interact with is not present in the DOM (Document Object Model) at the time your script tries to locate it. This could be due to several reasons, such as

The element is not present on the page when the script tries to locate it.

The element is present but not visible (e.g., hidden by CSS or not yet rendered).

The element has a different ID, name, or other attributes than expected.

The element is dynamically loaded after the initial page load (e.g., via JavaScript).

To resolve this issue, you can try the following:

Wait for the element to be present: Use explicit or implicit waits to wait for the element to be present and visible before interacting with it. Explicit wait example:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

# Explicit wait example
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
element = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "element_id")))

Implicit wait example:

driver.implicitly_wait(10)  # Set an implicit wait of 10 seconds
element = driver.find_element(By.ID, "element_id")

Wait for the element to be clickable: If you want to click the element, you can wait for it to be clickable instead of just present. Clickable wait example:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support.expected_conditions import element_to_be_clickable

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
element = wait.until(element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "element_id")))

Check the element's locator: Ensure that the locator (e.g., ID, name, XPath, CSS selector) you are using is correct and unique to the element you want to interact with. If multiple elements have the same locator, you may inadvertently interact with the wrong one.

Handle dynamic elements: If the element is dynamically loaded after the initial page load, you may need to use JavaScript to interact with it directly or to scroll to the element before interacting with it.

JavaScript example:

script = "arguments[0].click();"
button = driver.find_element(By.ID, "button_id")
driver.execute_script(script, button)

Refresh the page: If the element is still not present or not visible, you may need to refresh the page or navigate to a different page where the element is present.

Remember to replace "element_id", "button_id", and other placeholders with the actual element identifiers in your code.

A proxy server acts as an intermediary between the client and the requested Internet resource. It is assigned the role of a kind of gateway or filter, which is responsible for submitting a request, receiving the required information and providing it to the user. The proxy server, if necessary, can make changes in incoming and outgoing data, the nature of which will depend on the type of proxy and its settings.

Enter the settings using the gear icon (home screen) and click on it. Under "Wireless Networks", click on "Wi-Fi" and then click on "WiredSSID" and select "Change Network". Check the "Advanced" checkbox, and then select "Manual" for the proxy server. Click "Save" and close the settings.

An "open" proxy means one that is publicly available. It can be used by many network users at the same time. But because of this its bandwidth is also quite low, because the server simultaneously handles all requests through a single port.
